Fountain Pen Sakura Japan Mino Washi Purple Pattern medium nib with out ink. Thank you for looking at my item. Length : 5.12 in. Shaft Diameter : 0.67 in. This fountain pen features traditional Japanese craftsmanship using Mino washi paper adorned with Yuzen patterns. The paper is made from the pure waters of Nagara River in the lush greenery of Yamagata Gifu. A practice cherished in Japanese culture since the Nara period. Known for its elegance, the Yuzen pattern, also recognized in Chiyogami paper, adorns this meticulously handcrafted writing instrument, offering a vibrant array of colors. Each sheet of washi paper is meticulously hand-rolled, coated with acrylic resin for protection against stains and water, and finished with UV resin drying. Crafted with Mino washi paper, this luxurious fountain pen exudes sophistication. The refined Yuzen pattern, particularly popular among women, graces the pen. The pen nib is a medium alloy plating, ensuring a writing experience cherished by many. Additionally, easy interchangeability between cartridges and converters allows for a simple change of ink color. This fountain pen is a product of artisanal craftsmanship, where each pen is meticulously handcrafted, showcasing an attention to detail that adds to its allure. Remove the barrel and insert the converter straight into the section. Turn the knob to the left, lower the internal piston. And immerse the nib in ink up to the section. While turning to the right, draw in ink by suction. After suction is complete, wipe the nib clean before use. Remove the barrel of the fountain pen, point the nib upwards. And insert the cartridge straight without twisting. After installation, wait for the ink to reach the nib and perform a test write. Note that ink cartridges are not included due to import regulations. Please choose DAYACOM or European type cartridges accordingly. My store is 100% genuine.
